Program Calendar

Change is inevitable, but it’s often unexpected and has a tendency to turn our world upside down. Relationships end, careers shift, people pass on, dreams slip away—life brings transitions. For a while, we don’t recognize ourselves. The yogis see these times of transition in life as a spiritual opportunity; a time to remind ourselves that just as in nature, our lives go through cycles of birth and death. It is a vulnerable, yet potentially inspiring time, as the old gives rise to the new and we have the opportunity to emerge transformed and expanded.

Join Sarah Guglielmi for a weekend of meditation, yoga, self-reflection, and discussion. Whether you are in the middle of a life change or seeking an opportunity to reflect on the transformative process of change, this Year Long Meditation Retreat will allow you time and space for comprehensive self-inquiry.

Together, we will explore how ayurvedically-informed asana, meditation practice (abhyasa), non-attachment (vairagya), and trustful surrender (ishvara pranidhana) can move you out of struggle and confusion, and toward clarity and hope. These tools, along with concepts from ayurvedic yoga therapy, will be presented in the context of a life coaching roadmap that will allow you to see where you are in the cycle of change, and create a vision for the future.

Retreat Center Highlights

Sacred Space
The Sri Vidya Shrine is the spiritual heart of the Himalayan Institute. This sanctuary offers an ideal setting for silent meditation and group spiritual practice, a cornerstone of the Himalayan Tradition for thousands of years. Open to seekers of all backgrounds and traditions, the Shrine provides a serene, sacred space for meditation, quiet reflection, prayer, and contemplation.
Nourishing Meals
Our nutritionally balanced vegetarian meals are thoughtfully prepared to nourish body, mind, and spirit. Each of our three daily meals is designed to be easily digestible and to support a meditative lifestyle. Sharing meals here naturally fosters connection, offering both deep nourishment and a sense of community.
Loving Community
The Himalayan Institute welcomes people from all walks of life. With a blend of short-term guests, long-term visitors, and a vibrant residential community, the atmosphere here is warm, inviting, and rooted in kindness, generosity, and service. It’s a place where friendships form naturally, often becoming the kind of connections that feel like family, and last a lifetime.
Rest in Nature
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Poconos, the Himalayan Institute’s 400-acre campus offers breathtaking views, scenic hiking trails, and quiet spaces for reflection and contemplation. Walking is a favorite activity, whether along our groomed trails or meandering paved roads, inviting both movement and mindful presence in nature.
Conscious Simplicity
At the Himalayan Institute, we embrace simplicity in all aspects of life, from our surroundings to our approach to yoga. By minimizing distractions, we create space to strengthen the inner self and quiet the mind. Guided by authenticity and grounded in philosophy rather than frills, we support a path of meaningful personal growth.
Treat Yourself
Our Himalayan Café serves the Institute’s signature chai, coffee, and homemade cookies and treats on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The 24/7 Tea Lounge offers a variety of herbal teas for anytime enjoyment. On campus, the MOKA Origins Factory is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering handcrafted, ethically sourced chocolate and coffee, with free tours and tastings on Saturdays.
